how's his accent in german?

Styrian. Not unusual in Austria, but the accent generally stands out as a bit rural.

I don't know if it's been posted before, but I started watching these videos not long ago, and I quite like it.  I was always fascinated by big cats. :)

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

New Zealand spot about adult online content and kids: https://youtu.be/94mINLDSWlk

:D

It is, incidentally a bit reminiscent about an older German spot: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Cgxpw6bdI0I

I saw it the other day, it seems to me that New Zealand is cornering the quirky humour market in today's media.  :lol:

For comparison, here's Arnold's German dub voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKxNSt85BO8

It's the same voice as Terrence Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXDD4Qve_wY

and Sylvester Stallone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSXcwCq4_C8

The joys of dubbing.  :lol:

Actually, Arnold spoke a bit German in Escape plan but the Austrian Styrian accent was not as strong.

Valmy

Arnold should have dubbed himself in German.

Apparently he sounds too funny in German to be beliveable as an action hero, AFAIK.

Valmy

I mean it is not like he doesn't sound funny in English  :P

So funny he got dubbed in his first English movie, Hercules in New York.  :nerd:

I've recently started following the "Todd in the Shadows" channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTSjmqzOO-P8HmtVW3t7sA), it's a guy who does videos analizing current pop hits, failed records by established artists and, the funniest and most interesting ones, researching one hit wonders (who the artist is, pre-hit fame, failed attempts to replicate the hit,...). You get to learn quite a lot of interesting things, and contrary to what it might seem, he's quite ok with many of them, and the careers of some of the artists are fascinating. Also, it's really fun to see an American reviewing Eurodance hits from the 90s.  :lol:  Here are some of the ones he's done so far:

Funkytown: https://youtu.be/OxvaIo-6bhk
Lovefool: https://youtu.be/hy63VPG8Q8I
Scatman: https://youtu.be/u9rUy0lvWxE
I'm too sexy: https://youtu.be/P2Vav3a4PAc
Come on Eileen: https://youtu.be/UK6v74hQjvA
Mickey: https://youtu.be/PiTqaeuFbMc
Turning Japanese: https://youtu.be/1mbdSKPWs30

I encourage you to check it and take a look at them.  :)

He's pretty good, yes. I came across him when Channel Awesome didn't suck. :) Check his Safety Dance video. Quite enlightening about Canadian dance culture. :P

I had no idea what Channel Awesome was, but lately I've started following some people who were all part of it, so back in the day it must have been pretty cool.

Valmy

Channel Awesome is just Doug now.

Anyway yeah Todd is really great. His Trainwreckords series is really good.

Yeah. Unfortunately there's been a lot of drama around channel management who were, by all accounts, idiots/dicks. Best to stay away from that drama. I'd also highly recommend Linkara (comics) Obscurus Lupa (cheesy movies and TV), and Filmbrain (movies). Oh, and Oancitizen for arthouse movies.
